273 commando Build

I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but why are you putting some much effort and $$$ into a 273 if what you want is “fast”? I’d be building a 360…same $$$, more cubes.

…and BTW, I’m a 273 lover!

JMHO.
great to here 273 lover....I have been waiting for someone to ask that question .... the answer is because I like to be the underdog and I proved it with a few of my buddies built 340 360 and 380 horse magnum engines in dart duster and barracuda . you just have to spin the engine a little higher and they will rev LOL. they still think it's not a 273 engine. I love the small block engine !
This built 273 in my 65 barracuda is the fastest small block i ever owned and I had dozens of sb mopars and nothing compairs to this built 273 except for a magnum crate 402 stroker I had in that 65 dart rag. that car was a 11:50 car all day on motor.
